Luis Villamonte
aka "3-Card Villamonte"
Luis is commonly assumed to be the "Godfather" of the Magic Mafia™ because of his role in bringing the other three magicians together. All of them studied under Luis at different times, and it is believed that the close personal relationships he developed with each of them separately are what enabled him to convince them to join forces.
Luis and his wife, Rogene, are widely recognized as one of the most innovative and exciting magical couples of our time. Their act has been featured at many of today's top venues, including headlining appearances at concert halls, casinos, stadiums and theatres where their unique blend of music, flash, audience involvement, grand spectacle and illusion has won the Villamonte national acclaim.
No matter whether they're performing for an intimate group of forty, or a packed auditorium of 4000, Luis and Rogene will always create for their audience magical memories that will last a lifetime.
